The other day I learned that Charizard's japanese name is Lizardon and this feels like cursed knowledge.

I had the wildest fuckin' dream that they dropped the first half of Stranger Things season 5 but it was animated like their mobile game and everyone was mad as hell bc it looked really cheap but I had mixed feelings because it was giving intense Byler vibes.

(the plot was that all the kids had gotten separated after the events of s4 and now they were 18 so Mike had run away from home and was trying to gather the gang up again, and he went to Will first who had to live w his dad for some reason, and they ran away together to live with Steve for a short time but then a bunch of interdimensional travellers came wanting to fight Vecna. It was... Not well written. Very confusing. But also Byler!)

I left home early this morning to go thrifting ( looking for Pokemon cards ) and it was really quite cold, which gave me an excuse to wear this velveteen Emily Temple Cute skirt for the first time 🩷 It has a really subtle stripe pattern created from sewing several horizontal panels to create the skirt ! The care tag seems to indicate that it is from 2001.

Headdress : Metamorphose temps de fille

Blouse : Angelic Pretty

Skirt : Emily Temple Cute

Socks : Offbrand

Necklace and ring : Claire's ??

Koala bag : Gift from my bff

LOLFest has Mascots Now!

The flags last year were bomb, as are this year's (so sad OhmNanon are absent from this years's lineup, I would've loved to see what their mascot looks like)

But we gotta talk about the mascots, and the inspiration behind them (a.k.a what I think the inspiration behind them is).

I know this is a character, but the closest I can get is Flash the sloth from Zootopia. I know there's one that's much closer in appearence, but I can't remember.

Okay... What the absolute fuck happened with Tales of Arcadia-Trollhunters section while I wasn't active in the fandom?

After ROTT debacle, I sorta drifted away partly cause other fandoms had snag my interest and Netflix was being an unplayable ass. So today I get a Troll!Jim sketch popping up in my feed while scrolling through Resident Evil, Welcome Home and Linked Universe posts. I liked it then check out the tag only to see a huge clusterfuck of other stuff.

Another tie in series? And the ugly bomb that is Beast Jim. Whoever came up with this design, no offense, but it looks like an offbrand male troll version of the Tinkatink line from Pokemon. Now I'm all for monsters as they interest me more than human characters. Especially if written well. Hell, I'm a monster hugger of the monster loving spectrum.

Half Troll Jim is a fine beastie fella in design although the premise... it's a mixed bag as a whole. Beast Jim, absolutely not. With the half troll, you can see the resemblance to his original human form. Anytime a transformation is unrecognizable it's for the purpose of a mystery or to tell that they are too far gone.

You aren't supposed to see the man behind the 'monster' until its too late. A dear companion is now a threat, one you might have to put down. The mystique and realization delves into horror or sorrow. Beast!Jim's design does not have anything good going for it except as a example of what not to do. Just look! 👇

This 'Beast' doesn't feel Jim to me in general. His design is awkward and pisses off my artistic side as I seen way better troll designs for characters. Whether it be official artwork from the series, a different series or by passionate artists. Beast!Jim just feels like he been made with no care and love, a STAND IN for something better that never came.

I am definitely catching up on the series then redesigning Beast Jim. This is a travesty that will not be forgiven. I got enough aqua green color pencils as the color scheme is going first for obvious reasons.

That's all I have for now. Until next time folks, I'll see you back at Arcadia. Here's my reaction to Beast!Jim summed up by Nightmare Luffy.

1, 12, 28!

AAAA thank you!!! B)

questions I think would be fun to be asked

what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

pokemon has by far been the biggest driving force in who i am socially - every irl friend i've ever had was either made through pokemon, or friends i met through those friends. i played both the tcg and vgc competitively between 11 and 16, and was so deeply woven into that that when i started playing pokemon go with the local pokemon go community in 2018 people a lot of people recognised me from back then. the interest changed me for the worst - it was how i met and got close to one of my abusers - but even so, when my friends all left the city, i still decided to get back into tcg to stop being so lonely. it's cringe being this into a nintendo property but it's just someth i do at this point lol

aside from that uhhhh my impulsiveness kinda fucks i throw myself into things without a second thought. literally how i found a career that doesn't make me wanna Die and also how i found i fuckin love praying mantises. hell impulsiveness is how i started playing competitive pokemon. if my impulses were different i would be entirely different and that kinda throws me lmfao

third uhhhhh my grandma getting me an mp3 player for christmas when i was 6. was a factor in my autism being spotted and diagnosed. also made me a lil music freak. thanks grandma

12. what’s some good advice you want to share?

buy and keep two sets of crayons; skin toned crayons and monochrome crayons. you want as many different colours in both as possible. they don't have to be expensive crayons, offbrand cheapo ones will do.

between these you will be able to buff out pretty much any mark ever made in anything plastic or wood you own in a couple of minutes. the wax is thick enough to fill in the deep gap and by going lightly back and forth between 2-3 shades it is really fucking easy to colourmatch. smooth it over with a thumb and its unnoticeable. this is my favourite bit of adult knowledge i have bc i love doing it lol

28. do you collect anything?

oh god not more pokemon but pokemon plushes (this isnt even all of them ive got a bunch since i took this photo lmfao) is one!

also a really random figure collection:

finally ive got my big ol pin collection which i dont have a photo of because i need to sort it now ive got it out of storage (either way i have enough that i had to get a second big ass pinboard LMAO help)

Super Late For This but for offbrand Pokemon Snap: Alekon Penko Park.

Penko park:

Do not like those guys. Good lord

Now that's more like it

I dunno. These guys are kinda lame

Super cool to see people actually fucking did it tho

[lesbianralzarek]

for the longest time i assumed that pokemon go ad on all of our dashes was offbrand. not because it doesnt look like the real game, but because ive only ever seen shitware f2p ads on this site

[terrorsticken]

saw an offbrand tamagotchi while buying tape and instantly fell in love

the instructions aren't even for this model and it has very obvious stolen pokemon/digimon/ actual tamagotchi sprites. my prized possession

[astronomical-bagel]

is Ash Ketchum the 'offbrand' version of Red from palette town? Discuss

i read the manga before id even heard of the anime, so for me, ABSOLUTELY. But the truth is, i have no idea what came first. When i DID first see the anime, I was very confused on 'why they changed red's name' LMAO. But then again, Gold could ALSO be called an offbrand Red!! Similar looks, same archetypes, same types of foils... Theyre Very Similar. So maybe its not that Ash is a ripoff of Red, maybe its that the people writing pokemon have a very fixed idea on their favorite types of characters.

[csmeanerr]

I ended up making a CS about 3 years ago and apparently found out that there was another similar CS I learned about AFTER making my own who’s creator just cold blocked me since our species shared One (1) similarity. While I know your blog is to shit on CS in general, and shame on me for making one before realizing I did something generally frown upon, what should I do if this species ends up coming after me while previously not knowing of its existence? the CS is Incredibly popular, so I’m a bit scared. (not scarfox/cccats tho) I want to of course continue my CS while learning of what NOT to do from blogs like this, but I’m now terrified of the CS mentality of “if our species are similar, I’ll literally kill you”. Any words of wisdom? /gen

focus on your own species, even if they share the same general idea the way it's run will make it different even if they're the exact same thing (i.e. a bunch of pokemon groups are still different even if they're both about pokemon)

it's generally very frowned upon to shit on a species just because they look similar, though yeah some people are going to be shitty and call it a bootleg or offbrand even if that was never your intention. that's why focus on building your own work, do no harm but take no shit. if people shit on you then you can screenshot and send it to the groups they're in to shame them

i shit on cs practices and people who intentionally use those practices to the detriment of others, but ive no issue if people just want to make one. i wouldn't because of the problems but i have seen the appeal. at the end of the day do it because you want to, not because someone else might have a similar idea or that cs people care way too much on originality that doesn't exist

[fnf-writingz]

I love how like

Pokémon AU BF is the one being confused for once

Usually he's the one who defies physics and survives situations he shouldn't be able to, but now it turns out that all his friends a Pokémon and he's just like "???????????"

SDOGIJDFSD YEA- for once in his life he gets to experience all the confusion he brings-
